Kelly hays hikes is hands down the best hiking RUclips channel!
Still is unique to find anyone trekking through water and not complaining. All those different things in the water, (gelatin blobs, etc.), beyond words. Glad there are pleasant adventurer’s like you, that post trail videos.
Btw, just came across that weird plant you saw in my plant book. It is a Round leaved Sundew. It's a bug catcher, like Venus flytrap. It catches bugs with its' sticky leaves. 😮
I cannot believe you hike in that swamp water and I would think blisters would be all over your feet. kudos to your tenacity!
Thanks for sharing another adventure, Kelly! My brother and I just completed the trail on Friday. We stayed at the Loop 4, Bowman Island, and Soggy Socks campsites. Also, watched parts 1 & 2 of your hike before departing, and it helped us greatly on what conditions to expect on trail. Wishing you the best on your next hike!😄🙌🏼
Another nice hiking video Kelly. Congratulations on another thru hike completion! You guys look like you had so much fun on this trail.

Wow, yet another trail in the books for 9L! 😀 Congratulations to all of you. Thank you so much for all the adventures and beautiful vlogs. ✌️
thank you so much!
Well done Kelly! Enjoyed it!!!😊❤👍👏🏻
thank you for watching, Lee! :)
Another trail down, looked like a fun trail.
😊❤🎉 another fun trip with you!!! Thanks Kelly !!!
I think Florida should be my place to hike. Flat and beautiful. This trail was especially fantastic.
Florida trail is much better they I thought it would be. Amazing plants and blob creatures!!
I imagine there is bobcats.
I found some cabin rental trails in south MS they don't advertise in hopes to keep it sorta low key, hard to find but cool sites and there is a massive lake.
Congratulations Kelly & Co., thanks for taking us along!
Hiking through the sunset is really beautiful and glad you made it to the Atlantic Ocean at night. I’d love to trail hike through Florida someday.
Nice to highlight these kind of trails as a person who may not be able to commit to weeks or months of hiking a longer trail could do this with just a couple vacation days on either side of a weekend.
That was fun! Thanks for taking us along
What a great group of hikers you are having so much fun together! You could tell you had a great love life attitude in this video. Well done!👍 great hike!
i love the swamp. love it
Congratulations, another great series of videos, and another trail checked off. Thank you for vlogging so we can follow along and experience it with you. Lol while you do all the work... can't wait to see what's next. Thanks again and fantastic job 🎉🎊🥳👏👏👏🏆
Beautiful hike! Love those boardwalks as well
You are right, I can't believe how clear the water is. I admire your love for all things nature and how you show us the coolest things we would never see. Just saw you over with the other Kellie, and Cody, that was some fun. They had a band playing for y'all....lol......Congratulations on another finished trail....You Rock!
Kelly your hiking videos transport viewers into breathtaking landscapes, weaving a visual symphony of nature's wonders. Your radiant spirit shines through each frame, complementing the awe-inspiring scenery. It's not just about the trails you conquers; it's about the grace with which you navigate them, creating a mesmerizing blend of adventure and beauty that captivates your audience.
True
Stolen land though
Thanks for taking us on this trail very cool. Love you California Joanna
Outstanding!
Hi Kelly what an incredible Beautiful Awesome Amazing Scenery 😊
Wonderful hike. Great job
Hi Kelly! I love watching your videos. I love how independant you are and just travel wherever you want. I live in my car for almost 2 years now, but I dont travel.like you do! Lol... Keep it going girl! Your Awesome!
Diane
Whaat !! 😲 Girl, you rented a beach house in MY town!! That’s our south beach and that’s our jetty! 😲 I would’ve flipped out if I’d randomly run into you & the crew. Hope you enjoyed it!
Pretty sure those trees are called Banyan trees... we have some huge older ones here around Tampa Bay! Hike looked like alot of fun! 🤙🦀🌴
What an experience. Thanks for sharing!
I am building my way up, slowly, to doing longer and longer hikes. My goal this year is to do 20-30 miles in a day. But I know I have to build up my pace and stamina.
Nice video but, I hate slogging through swamps. Glad that you enjoyed it. Congrats on another trail completed. Happy Trails. Good Luck, Rick
Congrats on finishing another trail. Thanks for the video and scenery. What's next? Stay well and be safe. Warmer weather is coming this week.
Those cool plants are called sundews. I believe those jelly balls are byrozoa which are actually a primative animal not a plant oddly enough. They used to show up at the park swim area when I Worked at Lake Catherine back in Summer 2001. Love those glasses very terminator lol. Cool trip ty for taking us!
9lives checking off another trail! Awesome job girl, thanks for sharing ❤
Kelly, you can tell we’ve had a wet winter. You guys rock!!
It's a love/hate on the O to L trail. after 3 times I do still want to go back....... Crazy huh? Anyway, great video Kellz!
Another great FLORIDA hike!! I just love the diverse woods in Florida. Thanks for taking us along for the fun. Love the ending!!🌴🎊😻
Congratulations on another great hike!!
Another great adventure !! Thank you
always great hiking videos , bringing out florida like i never never knew . I just dont know how you can walk through that much water
The carnivorous plant is called sundew
Great 👍 job. Always awesome
Looks like a fun hike. Thanks for sharing 😊👍
Congrats! Mr. Bob must've had enough seeing you walking in the swamp!
HAHAHAHA yes!
@@kellyhays23 I just found your channel the other day and I’m such a big fan. I love your adventures.
Great series, Kelly! Somewhere along the way, I think you crossed paths with some of my paddling buddies from Alabama. They said you were in camp one night as they paddled the Suwannee River.
Wild end to a wild adventure. I think the trees were just saying hello. Just have to translate the leafy language, "I am Groot!"
Great hike and views along the way.
Morning MJ, good video of hiking in warm Fla., sitting here watching the full moon set on this cold morning in w. Pa. Your keeping me psyched for doing a short hike and camp in a couple of months, CONGRATS!
Morning! Hope you are keeping warm, spring is just around the corner! hope your hike goes awesome!
Another great trail and video!! Thanks Kelly!
What another awesome adventure, thanks for sharing
thank you for watching!
What the heck are those jelly things in the swamp? 😳 I don't think I would have picked it up. I'm terrified of jellyfish 🪼 😫
Other than the blobs, good hike ! 😊
Thanks for sharing, my goal is to hike that trail next year, still struggling with long Covid, and one good lung. Congratulations
you got this! I had long vid at the end of 2022. It took me about 6 months to start feeling back to normal. keep pressing forward!
Ya know what pisses me off? When I type "kelly" into the RUclips search and it don't automatically go to kelly hays. Get with it algorithm! There's only one Kelly on RUclips we care about watching. 😉 been following you a long time and look forward to each video. Brightens this old lady's day. Y'all are killin' it! Stay and have fun!
Another great hike! Enjoyed watching the videos.
Congrats quite a feet… wet feet!! Looked awesome!! Glad u wound up at beach instead of goin other way 👍💪
We love you, Kelly💘
...and I nearly forgot to mention that it's nice to see Nine Lives out on the prowl again🚴😻🌿
Great hike
Just seen you on Cody n Kelly's channel. So awesome when RUclipsr hook up. Double the fun❤
Hi love the vids you post amazing content ceep it up🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
thank you!
Y’all do this for fun. We did it growin up as kids to bring home food. I spent my life growing up in the swamp
Great video. Wish there was a way to pop you to 100 k status. Keep on filming.
Just watched you on Dome Life. Or the adventures of Cody and Kellie lol
Nothing like the blues!!!
The very young palmetto’s are good to pull and there is about 3 or 4 inches you can munch on while you are hiking kinda helps pass the time away😊
Love your vibes ❤❤❤
There are a few trails like this in Pensacola..Jones Swamp Preserve and boardwalk..
That's the problem with Florida trails, you almost always end with wet feet. But still fun
always a good time :)
I'm still here, enjoying your adventures, is been a little rough
Never seen someone so beautiful after 2days and nights in the woods and trails..
Great adventures, Kelly 👍
Just think of scars as tattoos with better stories
I guess if it were hot out, trekking through the water would be refreshing, but it doesn't look like it was too hot out, so did the water make you feel cold? Seems like you picked a good time of year to go and had a blast.
It was pretty cold in the mornings!
Me
And the Daughter wanna try this adventure!!!
your an official swamp girl now, best time of the year to do this trail in summer mosqitoes would have carrried you away😀
Lol ... Gators and Leeches and Snakes .. OH MY !! .. ... And Mosquito Airlines ..
Yup, hiking the real Florida! Not Disney !! lol I’ve seen those gelatin blobs that was red color on my hikes ! Kinda weird looking!! Thanks for sharing your experience!! 👍😬
🤙
Is it true that more than 40 miles of the hike was wet? You've gotten so good at doing these videos. Thanks!
for sure true for this year!
Those jelly clumps look like frog eggs
I hiked this trail barefoot a couple of times. Best experience ever
There is a trail I seen on a video or documentary that runs from the East Coast in Canada to the West Coast in Canada. I don’t remember the name of it though. I thought that you be a great one for you plus Santo Domingo trail, Ozark trail in Missouri, Arizona Trail, and the obvious CDT, and the Te Araroa trail in New Zealand.
Will you do any of them?
Trans Canada Trail!
I was born and raised in Fort Pierce lol. I was wondering if you would be around there at some point.
OMG! Did I hear Kelly Hays talk about a palm hammock? LOL
The last time I came across Kelly was over 2 years ago.I am glad she is ok and having fun.😊
Want to try this trail not sure I can make it
Banyan Trees.
Any chance you will hike the Ozark Highlands trail?
It’s on the list!!
@@kellyhays23 awesome thanks
Just hiked the OT…it was beautiful w plenty of water. (Heard that is low now!!) You would definitely enjoy it…reminded me of a smaller and more beautiful, maybe?? Pinhoti.
Blobs= frog eggs maybe
Congratulations on your thru hike. It's very rewarding. I just finished the trail on Saturday. We also finished in 3 days.
Feel free to watch my hike I've posted all 3 days on my channel. Great videos as always...
heck yeah I will for sure! was it still super wet?
@@kellyhays23 it was very wet and muddy conditions. Ankle deep to knee deep probably 70 percent of the trail. Feeling it in the legs today😬
Is your middle name Joy, cause you live it out everyday!
Hey Girl! Did you see my tag about Thailand? I think Muay Thai training for two or three days and hiking the rest of the time would be amazing!!!
So many things you just walked by as food and didn’t even know it.
Any water moccasins or rattlesnakes?
Im sure, but luckily i did not see any!
Have a great dinner!
Thank you so much David!!!!!
11:29 @kellyhayshikes I need to know what eyeshadow you’re wearing 😅
It’s called skin discoloration. It was free from the heavens
@@kellyhays23 🤣🤣🤣
@@kellyhays23 😩 I feel like donkey ears popped out of my head. I know darn good & well you aren’t hiking and carrying & appling makeup!!! 😬 🙄 🤦🏼♀️
Those blob things look like frog eggs to me.
👣
I am way behind. .
... Pretty location ....but not many people "get" to hike this ... ?? It's the "why" that gets me .... I guess you learn the "Swamp Shuffle" .. .. Stuff from the movie "The Blob" ... What causes the white sand only on trail ?? .. ... Cool viny trees near the end .. ..Looks like you and the group had fun ...
not many people get to experience the beauty of the swamp because they don't want to hike through mud and water to get there. I get it, but just a shame because it's incredible out there!
@@kellyhays23 .. Thanks for the reply and individual take on the trail ... Your just a BADASS ... Enjoy following along ....Stay Safe ....
@@kellyhays23 ... I guess that's the part I don't get " The Beauty of the Swamp" ....
thank you so much for coming along with me!! appreciate you!@@rockytopwrangler2069

Apparently you haven’t watched the “Blob”
Those pretty legs dont need to be damaged!
Always a creepy comment or two. 🤦🏼♀️
By the end of this you'll become amphibians. 😉👍
